[Acute fetofetal transfusion in dichorionic twins: a clinical case report].
1993
: Fetofetal transfusion is due to the twin to twin blood shunt caused by vascular anastomoses. It has been suggested that two types of FFT exist: a chronic form existing during pregnancy, and an acute form occurring only during parturition. Cross-circulation may be demonstrated in monochorionic as well as dichorionic placentas. However, such communications were found in 85-100% of monochorionic placentas, compared with one of 68 dichorionic fused placentas. Authors describe one case of acute feto-fetal transfusion in dichorionic twins.
